House of Leaves-Book Review and Summary
This review of House of Leaves, by author Mark Z Danielewski, has been adapted from two previous posts. The spoiler free review is first, followed by the spoiler full review and summary. The summary provides as best an explanation of House of Leaves as I can provide.
Spoiler Free Review
You may have heard of House of Leaves or seen it on shelves. You may have been putting off reading it due to it's infamous nature and hefty length. I know I was intimidated when I flipped through the pages and saw the bizarre shifts in formatting, font, color, and structure.
But I'm telling you now, House of Leaves is absolutely without a doubt worth the effort. Take it off your shelf and finally give yourself over to this unnerving tale of the supernatural.
The titular house is one of great mystery and impossibility. The owner, Navidson, discovers a new room within it one day and things only get stranger from there. After determining that the interior of his house is inexplicably larger than the exterior he goes on an exploration that will defy physics and nearly cost him everything.
The reader will follow Navidson's story through notes about a documentary about the house. The reader will also follow Johnny, as he becomes obsessed with these notes and solving the mystery behind it all.
House of Leaves does not in any way follow traditional story telling. That's what makes it more memorable and effective. The way the book is presented adds a creepy level of realism to the supernatural tale. It also immerses the reader within its walls in ways I've never experienced in any other book.
It almost feels more like a found footage horror movie than a book. It's an intense and gripping read that you'll follow with maximum focus. You'll have to, this is not what anyone would call light reading.
I am certain many thesis papers have been written analyzing House of Leaves. I won't be doing that here or even in my spoiler full review. But I can tell you that this book is an impressive work of art. Every piece has a purpose and it shows. This is not form breaking just for the sake of thinking outside the box. The form is what the story needs. It's not rule breaking, its rule defining.
It will take about an hour to get the feel for how the book operates. I strongly recommend only sitting down with it when you have a larger chunk of uninterrupted reading time. It could be quite easy to get lost within these pages. I see a lot of readers asking "how to read" this literary tome. The easy answer is, from beginning to end. The book guides you along. You'll take detours through footnotes and endnotes but I never felt lost.
But if you are looking for a challenge that is as rewarding as it is entertaining I cannot recommend House of Leaves enough. It is unique and it is worth every hour you'll put in.
House of Leaves Explained, Summary and Spoilers
House of Leaves is an intimidating novel that defies genre and traditional structure. It is absolutely necessary that you read House of Leaves in hardcopy, not on an ereader, and not in an audiobook if one is available. It's an integral part of the experience to see how the words are presented on each page.
House of Leaves is a horror suspense thriller, a family drama, an adventure mystery, and a tragic fall from grace depending on which chapter you're in. It's also a mockumentary, a madman's diary, and a film script. It's all of the above and much much more.
Because of how complicated it is I'm sure many people are searching for a coherent synopsis. I will do my best here. Keep in mind the story alternates between a few plot lines and the summary will be like the book, asymetrical and nonlinear.
We start with one of the narrators, Johnny. He finds his landlord dead in his apartment surrounded by a ton of mysterious papers and notes. Johnny decides to take all of these papers with him, he's unsure exactly why.
The notes and documents are about a supposed documentary called The Navidson Record about an unusual house. Johnny becomes obsessed with the mystery.
Navidson's tale is the other half of the story. We read it through Johnny's findings. Navidson was a journalist who disappeared after releasing two short films about his New England home.
Navidson intended to make a simple domestic documentary about his own family living an average life. Instead he ended up recording a haunting and disturbing trip through physics defying portals within his own house.
The more Johnny delves into the Navidson reports the more lost he gets within his own life. He even starts to exhibit some odd mental effects but is undeterred.
The Navidson family returns to their home from a short trip one weekend. They discover a new interior room that they've never seen before. Navidson thoroughly investigates this bizarre phenomenon and determines that the interior of his home is larger than the exterior.
This impossibility causes him to enlist the help of his brother Tom. They lock off the unnerving extra room but it appears to only be growing.
Navidson breaks his own locks and discovers that the room has branched off into many new rooms and hallways. His wife Karen is deeply disturbed and insists everyone stays away but Navidson's curiosity will get the best of him.
When not reading the Navidson records, Johnny works at a tattoo parlor. Many of his footnotes involve him telling his own personal stories about falling in love with a stripper known only as Thumper. One day, he has a reality break during his shift and wakes up with mysterious scratches on his neck.
From here the reader detours to Appendix ii at the back of the book. We read many letters written to Johnny from his mother in an insane asylum. The letters become hauntingly cryptic and paranoid. She alludes to an incident when Johnny was much younger where she tried to murder him and left scars on his neck. This appendix is well worth the extra read.
Back at the Navidson residence they hire an explorer named Holloway to help investigate the anomolous space. He's a macho jerk who hits on Karen any chance he gets.
The newly established exploration team discovers a staircase that seemingly has no bottom. Karen also discovers that compasses don't work anywhere on the property.
The exploration team decides to find what lies at the base of this staircase. They make four attempts without success. On the last attempt the team sends out a distress signal after 8 days. Navidson decides to go in and rescue them.
Johnny scores some alone time with Thumper. Against his better judgement he shows her his obsession, all of the notes and writings about the so called House of Leaves. Thumper will not share the obsession that has possessed Johnny.
House of Leaves really starts to break traditional structure once Navidson reaches the bottom of the stairs. The pages become segmented and fragmented with boxed and upside down text. This includes windows of text that are mirrored through one side as if the text was looking through the page.
The exploration team manages to track back to their cache of rations only to discover that it's been ravaged. The hear an unnerving growl and Holloway runs off half cocked to attack whatever it was. His team decides to give him one night to return before they'll attempt to surface without him.
One of the explorers is spontaneously shot in the arm. Holloway has emerged from a corridor in a confused rage and refuses to leave the tunnels as he shoots wildly at the men. They flee in several directions and get lost.
Johnny has another break with reality and discovers that he screams horrible things out loud every time he sleeps. He's slipping away so he decides to toss every pill and inebriant he has. He'll go completely cold turkey into all forms of sobriety.
Navidson is able to surface but needs to establish another team to rescue the other members. He returns to the staircase to discover that it is now only about 100 feet deep.
During this next rescue mission the text on the pages of House of Leaves corresponds to Navidson's location in space. It moves from top to bottom or left to right, it closes in on itself, or opens back up. It's a very neat effect that give this chapter a horror movie feel of dodging through narrowing corridors or peaking around corners. It builds intensity quite efffectively.
One more member of Navidson's team is shot but they manage to return to the shorter stairway. Tom lowers a gurney and pulley system for them. They get the injured members up to the ground floor before the stairs shift and Navidson is plummeted down deep into the earth.
Johnny starts to lose large chunks of time and consequently loses his job.
Within the normal part of the Navidson residence the hallway and room system that leads to the stairs appears to shrink. Karen and the others worry Navidson will be trapped for good. But he returns later that night complete with Holloway's equipment and cameras.
The reader then gets a partial account of Holloway's suicide. The text has been burned leaving many omissions.
Karen has finally had enough and intends to leave with their children for good. This angers the house and it begins to collapse in an attempt to force the family into a void. Everyone but Tom escapes. He's killed violently.
Johnny's life is in shambles. He's neglected all of his bills and maxed out his last credit card to purchase two guns. He gets evicted and decides to find the Navidson house.
The survivors of the House all abandon the location to move as far away as they can. Except for Navidson. He returns to the house to find it completely restored.
Karen decides she must find her husband and also returns to the house but finds no evidence of him being there. She starts living there again, just to wait for his return. She starts hearing his voice but the cameras that are still located all over the home don't pick up this sound.
The reader is privy to Navidson's exploration. He has become hopelessly lost as no matter which direction he goes in he's only able to go downhill. The text once again reflects changes in direction and the size of the space he's in.
On Johnny's journey to find the house the reader is no longer able to determine what is real or not. Johnny experiences a violent black out in which he murders two people known to him. But did this actually happen? The dates in his journal loop and tell very different stories for the same periods of time. It's impossible to tell what he's actually gone through at this point.
Then Johnny, about a year later, encounters a group of people who are in possession of a copy of House of Leaves, complete with Johnny's own footnotes.
Karen finally tracks down her husband's voice and finds Navidson in the dark, completely frozen and near death. He loses several parts of his body to frostbite but will live because she rescued him.
The house then "dissolves." It's gone. Karen and Navidson renew their vows and move far away with their children in an unexpectedly happy ending.
House of Leaves is one of a kind. It's a truly impressive work of experimental fiction that can only be appreciated when you experience it for yourself. It's haunting and scary but also touching and heartfelt.
I strongly recommend that you read this book. I know it's a daunting figure on the shelf but it is 100% worth the effort. Don't be intimidated, it's actually pretty easy to read once you get started and get the feel for the footnote structure. You will not regret finally bumping this one to the top of your to read list.

How to read House of Leaves?
From beginning to end. Many readers are intimidated by House of Leaves and it's unusual formatting and style but the book guides you along the way.
Keep two or three bookmarks with you to mark your places and just follow the footnotes, end notes, and annotations down the rabbit hole.
It's also best to make sure that you have at least an hour per reading session to sit down and complete a section. It does get a bit confusing bouncing between characters and plot lines but as long as you can remember character names and keep your place you should be fine.
Also, this book is not recommended for a digital reader! I strongly suggest getting a physical copy.
What is House of Leaves about?
The short answer is that it is about a house that begins to grow in mysterious and dangerous ways. This house sprouts new hallways at first but begins to take the occupants deep into the Earth and seems determined to keep them lost.
It is also about someone obsessed with reporting on this house. He gets just as sucked into the mystery as the ones who experienced it.
Is House of Leaves scary?
It depends on your fears but likely a little. More creepy or unnerving.
If you are afraid of dark spaces, closed spaces, or infinite voids it will be scary.
If your imagination runs wild when presented with an unsolvable mystery you'll love it.

Keeping kids from apps may do more harm than good
by: Lauren Krakau
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA) — A social media post is gaining traction about how parents need to delete and block their children from using a certain app in order to protect them.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Kevin Metcalf, who is also a father of four, said you are not going to protect your child from the dangers of social media by keeping them from having an app on their phone.
"Making your child delete it from his or her phone and blocking them from downloading it, that's going to be about as effective as saying that since you're on a diet we're going to eliminate sugar from your diet by keeping you from eating snickers," Metcalf said.
Metcalf said when parents restrict apps like Snapchat from their child they create a bigger wedge in their relationship.
"There's a lack of trust, there's a lack of communication, and there's a lack of openness," he said. "That's where those predators are going to thrive."
Brittney Val Stone, a local mother of three, said she disagrees.
Recently she shared the post above on social media.
Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram, I mean even this Tiktok is getting to where it's outrageous.
Brittney Val Stone, Local Mother of Three
Even though her kids aren't old enough to have phones yet, Stone said she has seen first hand the dangers of apps like Snapchat.
She said two of her nieces were caught messaging people they had no idea who they were, so when her kids do get a phone, she's setting restrictions.
"If they wanted a certain app, I've already explained to them I will be going in there and I will be checking in to make sure nothing bad is happening," she said.
Both Stone and Metcalf can agree the best thing you can do to protect your kids is to have an honest open relationship
"There has to be a flow of trust but it has to go both ways," Metcalf said. "They've got to know that you're there to support them and back them up even when they screw up."
"This day and age, a lot of kids can just be doing whatever they want and if parents don't pay attention to it and actually see it, they're going to get hurt," Stone said.
(NEXSTAR) - President Donald Trump is now the only American president to be impeached twice. He has less than a week left in office, and now all eyes are on whether the senate will act to try to remove him before then.

Artwood, from our Contemporary Range, is recommended for bathroom areas. Bathroom windows have traditionally been one of the hardest windows to put window solutions into. Shutters however, are the perfect choice. They are very easy to keep clean and by simply tilting the shutter blades you can control the level of privacy that you require. You can also have the window open and by moving the blades you can direct the airflow into the bathroom.


Football clubs across Europe have been working with UEFA and are reportedly close to announcing an away ticket price cap for European club competitions.
The move comes after concerns were raised about the away ticket pricing battle that escalated between Barcelona and Manchester United for the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals next month.
The European Club Association (ECA) and UEFA set up a working group last year after Bayern Munich and Liverpool fans complained about ticket prices at Anderlecht and Porto, respectively.
The ECA has said a proposal for a cap next season is being put to a UEFA panel on May 14.
Last week, Manchester United said it would subsidise the £102 ($134/€118) expense for away fans travelling to Barcelona for the first leg. The Premier League club asked for the same price from Barcelona fans traveling to Old Trafford.
The club claims it will use the additional revenue from the first leg on April 10 to decrease the cost of the tickets for its fans hoping to travel to Camp Nou on April 16. United said it will bring the ticket price down to £75.

A man has been arrested for allegedly attempting to smuggle a rare fish into Australia in a bag of water around his neck.
The 34-year-old Vietnamese man had landed in Adelaide after travelling from Malaysia when selected for a baggage examination, according to a statement from the Australian Border Force (ABF).
The bag containing the fish was produced after a frisk search.
The fish was identified as a Fully Red Asian Arowana, the trade of which is controlled under the international Convention in Trade of Endangered Species, to which Australia is a signatory.
According to the ABF, the fish had to be humanely euthanised, as illegal imports of exotic animals can introduce serious pests and diseases that pose a significant biosecurity risk to Australia.
"The ABF is committed to stopping the trade in rare animals and protecting our delicate natural wildlife from the potentially devastating impact of foreign diseases and predators," ABF Chief Superintendent, Regional Command SA, Brett Liebich said.

Additional Shipping Charge Applies
In the X Vinyl Bundle you get the first four albums on vinyl by the Los Angeles Punk band, X. You get Los Angeles, Wild Gift, Under the Big Black Sun, and More Fun In The New World by X, ON Vinyl.
Vinyl LP pressing. Four decades after their inception, one thing is clear: X was not only one of the most influential bands to crash out of the punk movement of the late '70s, but the group's music continues to be sonically groundbreaking today. Songs written during the group's inception are as relevant and inventive today as they were in 1977. The band's early albums, Los Angeles, produced by Ray Manzarek of the Doors, Wild Gift, and Under the Big Black Sun explored dark love and an even darker L.A. with the unflinching eye of a Raymond Chandler novel. Subsequent efforts like More Fun in the New World found the band continuing to grow musically and politically, fearlessly mixing genres without ever losing it's center. "The quintessential L.A. punk band made the first great West Coast punk album with it's debut. Los Angeles is best known for it's city-defining anthem and the torrid "Johnny Hit and Run Paulene"; produced by Ray Manzarek of the Doors, it also shows that punk and classic rock can be friends" - No. 287 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
WILD GIFT
Wild Gift by X Vinyl LP pressing. Fat Possum Records and punk icons X team up to reissue newly remastered versions - courtesy of Jason Ward and Chicago Mastering - of four of the band's classic albums including Los Angeles (1980), Wild Gift (1981), Under The Big Black Sun (1982), and More Fun In The New World (1983).

UNDER THE BIG BLACK SUN
Under the Big Black Sun is the third studio album by American rock band X, and their major-label debut. It was released on Elektra Records in July 1982. The cover art illustration was drawn by Alfred Harris. Lyrically, the band broadened their perspective. No longer the punk scene's Raymond Chandler, writing of the squalor and chaos of Los Angeles, where their house was often a center of activity, the band instead looked inward. The lyrics focus on break-ups, death, and the nagging truth that all of the critical fawning had yet to add up to more tangible success (the wry "The Have Nots," which incorporates a slew of bars and one night stands the band had noted on their endless criss-crossing tours of the states).
MORE FUN IN THE NEW WORLD
More Fun In The New World by X - More Fun in the New World is the fourth studio album by American rock band X, released in September 1983 by Elektra Records. It was reissued with four bonus tracks by Rhino Records in 2002. It was the last X album produced by Ray Manzarek. VINYL LP - FAT POSSUM Records.

Do you like watching stars? Do you 21 time watching the sky on the Mid-autumn Day every year? On this 22 day in 2003, Mars attracted more attention than the moon.
The earth and Mars are two planets, far from each other. They run in different orbits 23 the sun. The earth was 24 with Mars in August and September. And on August 27 , Mars was the closest to the earth in 60,000 years. It was only 55.76 million kilometers 25 from the earth on that day. The next time Mars 26 come so close to the earth is in 2287.
Mars became brighter around that day. By looking 27 telescopes, sky watchers 28 that they saw Mars' south polar cap(冰帽). It is made of 29 water and dry ice. It reflects sunlight well. "I can see the polar ice clearly using my 8-inch telescope," says Ron Wayman from the USA.
Soon after the sunset, Mars rose from the east. The fans of Mars didn't stop watching Mars 30 the next morning when the sun rose and Mars set.

Miley Cyrus Used to Bully Hailey Baldwin: "I Would Be Evil to Her"
The fellow stars reflected on their past as kids together.

Watch: Miley Cyrus Admits to Bullying Hailey Baldwin
Hailey Baldwin has a surprising person to thank for learning how to deal with trolls: Miley Cyrus.
In a new episode of Carpool Karaoke, the songstress joined Baldwin and famous BFF Kendall Jenner for a ride. In between belting out Cyrus' hit, "Party in the U.S.A." and her new single, "Nothing Breaks Like a Heart," the trio reflected on knowing each other as kids.
As it turns out, Cyrus was friends with Baldwin's older sister, Alaia Baldwin, and the two were not so nice to the future model.
"I would be evil to her," the Grammy nominee admitted. "She would try to play with us, like me and Alaia...we would lock her out of the room...and be evil."

"My older sister and her used to gang up on me," Baldwin confirmed.
However, Cyrus found the silver lining today. "I had to. It made you who you are. It made you stronger," she said. "Now you can always take the trolls and s--t because I was such a troll."
Hailey reiterated, "Miley was the biggest troll to me...she prepared me for this industry."
CBS Television Studios / Apple TV
The stars' families were so close that the Tennessee native even spent a Christmas Eve with the Baldwins in New York City. For Cyrus, it was a good experience considering she didn't have friends in the Big Apple.
"I needed little sisters to pick on to make me feel like a regular kid," she noted.
As Baldwin replied, "And that was me."


The CIA is NOT telling people that shooter Omar Mateen was simply just a messenger.
The scary part about all of this, the CIA knows exactly what's going on. Our Government uses fear to control us. Without fear, there would be anarchy and a possible revolution.
We urge all of you to stay safe and vigilant –and please report ANY suspicious activities to your local authorities. –There is something far more sinister in the works and our own Government will not even clue everyone in on it. NOT IF, but WHEN the master plan is carried out, remember, AATL told you so.


Danielle Bass of Citrix Systems discusses her company's use of SAP Access Violation Management (AVM) from Greenlight Technologies with Susan Stapleton of Greenlight at the 2016 SAPinsider GRC event in Las Vegas.
Susan Stapleton, Greenlight Technologies: Hi, I'm Susan Stapleton with Greenlight Technologies. We're here at the 2016 GRC SAPinsider conference in Las Vegas. With me today is Danielle Bass from Citrix. Danielle, do you want to introduce yourself?
Danielle Bass, Citrix: Hi Susan. Thank you. I'm Danielle Bass of Citrix Systems, my role there is I'm director of Global Accounting Systems. I work for the Chief Accounting Officer under Finance. We're responsible for making sure our Finance team has solutions that can help them scale.
Susan: I know you're a big champion within the IT Finance group to make sure the business has what they need to operate efficiently. And you are using SAP's Access Violation Management from Greenlight, and you're using that with your Ariba application.
Susan: And how are you using that?
Danielle: We actually implemented GRC in 2013, and it was a really good solution for us, automated a lot of existing processes that had been manual. Then we had a project to implement Ariba which really brought us a huge amount of procurement efficiencies. However, we were moving a lot of functionality out of SAP into Ariba, things like generating invoices, creating PO's, all that would now be done in Ariba and we have two challenges – our immediate challenge was we were implementing this fantastic system but needed a way to provision and de-provision access. We had spent a long time getting GRC right, making sure it worked well with provisioning and de-provisioning. Ariba, we didn't have a way to do that. We didn't want to go back to the manual processes we had before, tracking, the work a system administrator did – we had a tool to do that. So we just didn't know how to connect that tool to Ariba. So we reached out to SAP, they suggested the Greenlight Access Violation Management (AVM) solution and it gave us a lot of benefits. It really allowed us to keep our processes the same across multiple systems, so we didn't have to retrain our group that had been brought on to do provisioning and de-provisioning. SoD analysis, SoD mitigation, all that continued to be automated and AVM – Access Violation Management – was the connection between SAP and Ariba to let us continue with all those processes we had put in place and bring in a cloud-based solution into it. Another benefit that was very important to us was that even though we're implementing Ariba and getting a lot of efficiencies there, compliance has to continue. But we really wanted that compliance process to continue to be as efficient as possible. AVM allowed us to do that. We were allowed to have a cloud technology with our SAP system, do cross-SoD analysis which for us having everything contained in one system, having our users have the same SoD analysis process, critical action, analysis process without having that have to change for Ariba was huge. And we didn't have a learning curve for our users.
Susan: What about your SoD's? Do you look within Ariba for SoD's or across systems between Ariba and ECC?
Danielle: Across systems. We're looking at Ariba with SAP. Yes, across systems and that's important to us at Citrix. We don't want separate processes to do that review.
Susan: And one other question I would have is did you use the global rule-set or did you add another rule-set?
Danielle: We didn't have to add a new rule-set so we were able to take out Ariba into our existing global rule-set so that worked out well. So you have the one rule-set. And then long-term if we do decide to add other systems they'll also be pulled into that one rule-set.
Susan: And then from a timeline process, how long did it take you to implement your Ariba integration?
Danielle: We did it along with our Ariba project and in total it took us about eight weeks but there were a lot of activities going on at the same time. Eight weeks for us, and we used Greenlight services to help with implementation so we were involved when we needed to be but it was pretty quick. It wasn't anything close to the GRC implementation. We were actually able to use a lot of the same testing scripts, we were able to pull them out from our GRC implementation and use them again when we tested with Ariba.
Susan: Thanks Danielle for joining us today and talking about how you're leveraging Access Control and integrating your Ariba application with SAP Access Violation Management. We really appreciate your time and I hope you enjoy the rest of your days in Las Vegas.

Android News / All News / Grey Galaxy S7 Edge Shown Off In Latest Render Leak
Grey Galaxy S7 Edge Shown Off In Latest Render Leak
The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge handsets have been popping up left and right recently. These two phones will get announced on February 21st during Samsung's Unpacked event at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. These two devices have surfaced in several renders thus far, and by the looks of it, they'll resemble Samsung's 2015 flagship line of devices. We'll talk more about the specs later on, let's first tackle this new piece of news, shall we.
If you take a look at the gallery down below, you'll notice that two new Galaxy S7 Edge renders popped up. This time around we get to see the device in Grey color, and these renders actually give us a pretty good look at the phone. Judging by this, the Galaxy S7 Edge will definitely resemble its predecessor, which is not necessarily a bad thing, of course. You can clearly see multitask / overview and back capacitive buttons here, and also the physical home key which is placed in-between them. The fingerprint scanner will almost certainly going to be built into that home button, and the renders also show that the volume rocker keys will be placed on the left-hand side of the Galaxy S7 Edge, which means the power / lock key is included on the opposite side. These renders don't exactly show us the back of the Galaxy S7 Edge, but some previous ones did.
The Galaxy S7 Edge will, according to the available info, sport a 5.5-inch QHD (2560 x 1440) Super AMOLED display. This handset will also pack in 4GB of RAM and will be available in several internal storage variants. The Galaxy S7 Edge will quite probably ship in both Exynos 8890 and Snapdragon 820 SoC variants, and its availability will vary depending on where you live. The 3,600mAh battery will be included on the inside, at least according to FCC's latest listing. The 12.2-megapixel BRITECELL camera has been mentioned several times thus far, but so has Sony's 23-megapixel snapper which was used in the company's Xperia Z5 line of devices. Android 6.0 Marshmallow will come out of the box here, and on top of it, you can expect to see Samsung's TouchWiz UI.

Tim Burton once again came back to direct the sequel which came out in 1992. The first movie was a box office success, so he had free range to do whatever he wanted. And while Batman Returns has some good elements and good acting, it's not nearly as good as the first installment and it comes across as a Tim Burton movie, not a Batman movie. It becomes inconsistent with the Batman lore and everything is whimsical, weird and way too dark and depressing. Batman kills people in this movie, which completely derails from the comics. It feels way too much like a circus and it takes place at Christmas time for some reason, which I always thought was an odd choice.
But there are some good things about this movie. The casting for the villains was perfect. Danny DeVito as the Penguin was perhaps the best choice they could have gotten in the 90's. (Let's face it, he kind of looks like a Penguin). His makeup was fantastic. He looks disgusting and the scene where he eats the guy's nose is so revolting. His backstory is interesting and you understand his motivation. He wants to find his parents and discover his roots. He also blackmails Max Shreck (portrayed by Christopher Walken) in helping him become mayor of Gotham.
Catwoman is also in this film and she is portrayed by Michelle Pfeiffer and she's is great as Selina Kyle. Her origin story is also really awesome. She finds out that her boss Max Shreck is planning to steal Gotham's electricity with the new power plant he plans to build. He pushes her out the window and she falls to her death and is resurrected by cats. She returns home, has a nervous breakdown and makes her Catwoman outfit and goes out to steal banks. She also has nine lives! That's insane!
Her chemistry between Michael Keaton isn't bad as well. But as you watch the movie you realize that she's a bit of a whore too, since she chases down any man and throws herself at him. The two are good together, but there a bit too many scenes with them together that are drawn out and nothing really happens.
The Penguin successfully turns Gotham city against Batman and that's the main aspect of the movie that is interesting and it should have been more present. He teams up with Catwoman and that's where it started with the multiple villains and the movie actually balences this storyline rather well, unlike movies like Spider-Man 3 (and The Amazing Spider-Man 2, for that matter) which we're a mess. There's a scene where Catwoman starts to lick herself like a cat and it is over the but it is nice to look at.
There's also a scene where the Penguin controls the Batmobile like in an arcade game and it's really dumb. It doesn't make sense and it feels like it actually belongs in Batman and Robin rather than this movie.
The ending of the movie with all the penguins is a bit absurd and over the top. And the Penguin is out of his mind in this movie. He wants to murder all the first-born child's of every family in Gotham. You don't get much more evil than that.
The Penguin dies after one final showdown with Batman. Catwoman electrocutes Shreck as they kiss and they both die together. However, Batman doesn't find her in the burning wreckage. He leaves the sewers and sees her shadows in a dark alley while Alfred drives him back home. He goes out, finds a cat and brings it back with him while Catwoman watches in the moonlight.
Overall, Batman Returns is certainly not a bad movie, it's just more of a Tim Burton movie than a Batman movie, which clearly shows. Danny DeVito and Michelle Pfeiffer are fantastic additions to the cast and there are some exciting scenes throughout even though it is a bit campy at times.

View the Strategic Plan
The American Nuclear Society is committed, in principle and in practice, to creating a diverse and welcoming environment for everyone interested in nuclear science and technology. Diversity means creating an environment – both in ANS and in the profession – in which all members are valued equitably for their skills and abilities and respected equally for their unique perspectives and experiences. Diverse backgrounds foster unique contributions and capabilities, and so creation of an inclusive Society ultimately leads to a more creative, effective, and technically respected Society.

Q: Issue appending html content to newly generated script I asked a similar question recently to this but I think it lacked clarity so I will try and draft it better below and hopefully I'll get an answer or some additional help.
I am dynamically generating a script tag with JSON data which will append HTML content which is currently on the page.
Code is below. The issue is that the JSON is only adding one of the paragraphs on to each of the List Headings in this newly created script. All paragraphs under each List Heading should be added  for each.
Here's the Javscript:
            //Question headers & Paragraph Answers

            var scriptTag = document.createElement("script");

            scriptTag.setAttribute("type", "application/ld+json");

            var start = '{"@context": "https://schema.org","@type": "TestPage","mainEntity": [';
            var end = ']}';
            var headings = document.querySelectorAll(".list-test .accordion");
            var paragraphs = document.querySelectorAll(".panel > p");
            var headElement = document.querySelector("header");

            scriptTag.prepend(start);

            for (var i = 0, j = 0; i < headings.length && j < paragraphs.length; i++, j++) {
              scriptTag.append('{"@type": "Question", "name": "' + headings[i].innerHTML + ' ", ');
              scriptTag.append('"acceptedAnswer": {"@type": "Answer","text": "' + paragraphs[j].innerHTML.trim() + ' "}}, ');
            }

            scriptTag.append(end);

            headElement.append(scriptTag);

Here's the HTML:

                Test List

Here's the generated JSON at the moment:

If anyone has any suggestions on how to append the correct content in the newly generated JSON that would great eg. the 3 paragraphs under the list heading 1 to append on to the text for the first answer in the JSON, the 2 paragraphs appended to append to the text for the second answer in the JSON etc.
Thanks

Q: Weird behavior with Bootstrap Why are the tabs not working as properly in rails? Is Bootstrap's JavaScript file not loading properly or am I doing something wrong? I have a tab panel that basically have two contents. One for questions and the other for blog posts. Whenever I refresh the page, the blog post's inner HTML gets mixed with the question's panel as if the Bootstap's script never actually 'loaded'.
To to exemplify my question, here is an image of when I refresh the page:

And here's an image for when I click on one of the tabs. (The script loads, and separates the contents the way I wanted.)
Question's tab:

Blog post's tab:

Application.js code:
// This is a manifest file that'll be compiled into application.js, which will include all the files
// listed below.
//
// Any JavaScript/Coffee file within this directory, lib/assets/javascripts, vendor/assets/javascripts,
// or vendor/assets/javascripts of plugins, if any, can be referenced here using a relative path.
//
// It's not advisable to add code directly here, but if you do, it'll appear at the bottom of the
// compiled file.

A: Apparently I had the active class mistakenly added on both panels. So by removing the second class, everything got fixed.

Owner of rooming house where woman died in fire ordered to pay $1.3M
Nov 07, 2019 • November 7, 2019 • 2 minute read
TORONTO — The owner of an illegal Toronto rooming house that was the scene of a deadly fire has been ordered to pay the victim's family more than $1.3 million after a jury in a civil trial found him responsible for her death.
The jury in Milton, Ont., found that Konstantin Lysenko's negligence — and that of his numbered corporation — led to the death of Alisha Lamers, who suffered fatal injuries on Nov. 20, 2013, when she was trapped in the burning basement unit she had been renting. She died a few days later on Nov. 24 at the age of 24.

Lysenko failed to prepare and implement a safety plan for the building and didn't maintain working smoke detectors, the jury found. Court also heard there were bars over the basement windows, preventing Lamers from escaping through them.
"The jury was very clear in their findings that he was completely negligent, and that the negligence caused Alisha's death," said Michael Smitiuch, the lawyer representing Lamers' family. "If he doesn't get that now, he'll never get it."
Lysenko, who did not respond to requests for comment, had argued in a statement of defence — and again in court — that it was not his responsibility to keep the property up to code.
But in 2015, he was convicted of violations of the fire code and fined $75,000.
Smitiuch said the house was one of four that Lysenko owned. Eight people were living there, and the property was bringing in roughly $48,000 a year at the time of Lamers' death.
He said the decision sends a strong message to those hoping to make a quick buck during an affordable housing crisis.
"If you're going to operate a business renting to tenants for money, you'd better make sure that it's safe. Their lives depend on it," he said.
A spokesman for Toronto Fire Services said the agency has charged 226 people or corporations with operating rooming houses in violation of the fire code since the beginning of 2014.
"In this case, if this guy would have licensed the rooming house, there would have been inspections that would have been done to make sure the apartment was fire code-compliant," Smitiuch said. "That would have made the difference."
The jury awarded Lamers' parents $250,000 each for loss of companionship — which Smitiuch noted is $100,000 more than what's previously been awarded for the loss of one's child — and $250,000 each for mental distress. For future cost of care, the jury awarded her mother $151,200 and her father $174,800.
It's not clear whether Lysenko will appeal the decision or the penalties.
